I want to personally thank you for your posts. Something from each of yours gave me new insight and helped to answer some questions I had about other's perspectives.

It hasn't done me or my relationships any good. I take responsibility that maybe my relationships have been the way they are because of me.

no need to be judging them though, with a strict list of specifications, you're not buying a washing machine or fridge freezer
I guess I am coming from an overly cautious perspective and should losen my standards a little bit. I know women hate being judged and I don't want to be the person who judges everything they do. I guess really I just have my guard up.

I keep noticing your sig... and it seems, you are doing exactly what it says. You're kind of allowing yourself to not be how you want to be. And this will likely only further your resentful feelings towards girls.
Maybe so, I came here with the post to find out other's perspectives on an issue that has been in my mind the entire time. Something about Picking Up women doesn't work with me. I just know it isn't me, but I came here to learn how to be the best person I could for when I do meet girls that I actually like. I am not looking for a one true love, I am looking for a good person or several good women that want a relationship. I just haven't seen it yet, and I have been in MANY fuck buddy/mono relationships. I wonder if it exists anymore, but I also am only 21 years old and game very immature girls.

Your post helped me immensely. I was feeling incredibly lost about this but you opened my eyes to what I knew all along.

If you want love, you have to take a different approach.
Quote:
Girls that go to clubs are generally party girls. New dress every week, new shoes, take an hour to get ready with makeup and do their hair. Tits and ass. This suggests high maintenance, higher chance of having emotional issues, higher chance of putting out and K-closing. They are usually fun to go out with but turn into a crazy mess in a relationship. When you go to a nightclub you pick up based on looks.

Love is earnt and worked for and when you have foundit, it should be cherished. It will make you feel on top of the world.

The maturity level of the people you want to meet is equivalent to the choice of venue. Nightclub = drunk sluts. Nice bar or pub = educated crowd.

Don't hate the drunk sluts. They can be tonnes of fun and good for a laugh. Sometimes thats all people are looking for. They're not there for a conversation or a committed relationship. Instead, change your focus onto what you want from a woman and go out there and find it.
Everything you said just changed my perspective on the whole game, believe it or not. It may seem simple, but I just got in the habit of thinking ALL girls are drunk party sluts to some level and need that high level of maintence and excitement. I just find it hard to believe that there are girls out there who value good conversation, depth, maturity, focus and drive. I think I have been gaming and investing in the wrong type of girl though.

Fast forward till the present and i'm still looking for that girl, "the one". But i think you have to focused on what they do right, rather than what they do wrong, or you might end up dumping the girl you supposed to be with because of a minor infraction of your rules, before she can grow into your idea woman.
Good point and angle. I just have never dated a girl who has met any of my standards really, but I realize now that I was the one choosing women who I met in areas that suggested they weren't looking for the same things.
It is easiest blaming and resenting other people for not wanting the same things out of life, and instead I blame myself for not persuing girls that were good for me. I have met them before, I just never made any moves. Probably because I knew they would be good for me and I still wanted to prove something at some level about generalizing women.
There is a lot to be said about taking the principles of an ideal life and making them real instead of trying to desperately figure out what is real. It is hard to believe and accept but we can make life whichever way we want to believe it is. There will never be a "real world" that shows itself to our face and we will say OH that is the way it is! It is shaped by our beliefs, sometimes which are the most irrational ways of living out there and the furthest from the truth.
